Evita is, without a doubt, my favourite musical.
I was a late-comer to musical theatre, being introduced to musicals in high school and seeing my first (legit) stage production in college.
The
1996 film adaptation was one of the first musical films with which I fell in love, and drove me to seek out others.
------------------------
------------------------
So, for today's post, I'd like to share a compilation I made of songs from Evita. This two-disc album mostly consists of songs from the
1976 Concept Recording (starring Julie Covington and Colm Wilkinson) and
1979 Original Broadway Cast Recording (starring Patti Lupone and Mandy Patinkin). The entirety of the score is (more or less) represented here, and as it is complete, it may be the only Evita cast album you ever need.
Some of the songs have been edited for various reasons (sequencing, favouritism, etc.), and the edits made have been noted in the "Read-Me" file. Don't fret, though; none of the changes are drastic or in any way affect the listening experience.
I own on CD all of the cast albums represented here with the exception of the '81 Australian Cast, which came from the now defunct blog "
Wilkommen..." and is sourced from vinyl (with no notable audio problems).
As with some previous samplers, I have made two different covers, so you can choose for yourself. :)

P.S. The new Broadway Revival Cast, starring Elena Roger and Ricky Martin, has just released a two-disc cast album, which can be purchased from
Amazon for $14.88. I have yet to listen to it, but I have high hopes. :)
P.P.S. You can purchase the classic disco album "Evita," produced by the legendary Boris Midney from
Amazon mp3 for just $6.93. I highly recommend it, particularly for the disco versions of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" and "Buenos Aires."
